Celebrating Local History in Western Massachusetts

The WareHistorical Society preserves local artifacts and information, and promotes local historical research and educational activities to develop the community’s awareness of its unique historical heritage. The Ware Center Church and Meeting House is the oldest church in Ware, originally serving as both church and town hall for Ware Parish. First named The Manour of Peace, it is where taverns, the blacksmith shop, the animal pound, a water wheel and ice house once stood.
